CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — On Motzei Shabbos, MyShliach held an evening of appreciation for their dedicated volunteers, at the Jewish Children’s Museum in Crown Heights. Those attending the evening were participants of MyShliach’s Caring Mentor Program, a program that connects shluchim’s children with volunteer mentors. Since its inception, the program’s objective has been to facilitate open communication between the children and their mentors. Each week, MyShliach’s mentors call up their assigned child to Farbreng, learn a Sicha, or simply encourage the child through difficult times.
